A mysterious convict left jail in style today when he was given a hero’s welcome by an entourage of pals and whisked away in a luxury Rolls Royce Phantom.

The supposed ex-prisoner, who walked free in a grey tracksuit ensemble and clutching a clear bag of his possessions, grinned from ear to ear as his mates slapped him on the back and embraced him.

High-fives were exchanged before the unknown man posed in front of a camera-phone outside Standford Hill Prison on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent before hopping into the backseat of the exclusive Rolls Royce.

The welcome party comprised of at least six men – and one driver – who seemed ecstatic to be reunited with their freed friend.

To the backdrop of the jail Category D prison, they all laughed and took pictures with the former inmate under blue skies this afternoon.

He then stepped into the shiny white Rolls Royce Phantom – which retails for an eye-watering £360,000 – which revealed the car’s sleek cream leather interior.

Once comfortable in the back seat, he wound thumbed down the window, poked his head out and smiled while his friends took yet more snaps of the jubilant jailbird who was clearly lapping up his luxurious departure.
